What is the Difference b/w Server based Ranking and normal
Ranking?

Answer Posted / prathish thomas

Normal Ranking (Reporting-> Ranking)is at the report level , where Web Intelligence allows you to return unranked data from a database, then rank it in Web Intelligence

Server/DB database ranking appears after the Query Filters icon of the Query Panel)allows you to specify a ranking at the query and database level so that the data returned to Web Intelligence by the query is already ranked.
Database ranking has the following advantages:
Ranking data can be processing-intensive. By ranking at the database level you allow the server, which is typically far more powerful than the client machine, to perform this processing.
Pre-ranking data reduces the amount of data retrieved across the network and stored in Web Intelligence
